I really do hate school holidays.
Too many bored children about.
More than that, no customers to see. Half away on holiday and the other half working twice as hard.
So last week I took Friday off to spend with friends including the weekend.
I then impulsively asked my boss for some more time off work and he agreed.
So today I spent in town dealing with some banking and other matters.
Not working tomorrow either...........
One of my favourite places on the poor side of town is a Turkish shop and associated restaurant. Great service, food and fresh fruit.
So I decided to have lunch there and watch people for an hour and a half.
Today I selected lamb and yoghurt soup, served with olives, pickled vegetables and a pile of their flat bread, freshly baked in a wood fired oven on site.
A dash of chilli oil on top and you are on your way.
After lunch I had a leisurely Nescafé coffee and watched people for an hour or so and chatted with friends around the world on messenger.
Then the bill came.
£6.00 or $7.75 incl tip.
Got to be a good thing.
Sometimes living is winning.
Now thinking about what I will get up to tomorrow.
It could be a crazy good day.
Not even the weekend.
Yet........
